| POWER TUBES and Musical genre I didn’t see a thing about 6L6, KT66 or 6550 KT88. The American version of the valves. The 6L6 is still one of the best valves ever made.It can be used from soup to nuts. From PA, to voice one of the best sounding amps EVER made. MC 30s, 40s and 2... | |
| Schiit Freya+(Plus) Not trying to get off the subject too much, here OP. The unit was setting on a slotted grate, Lots of air all the way around. Ambient temp was 65-75.When I started monitoring with a temp gun, it stayed right at 96-7 F. The valves 145-150 F. Stayed... | |

| Power cable for REL sub -- modestly priced Holly cow... 30.00 make your own, with 10/3 awg SOOW or SJOOWand hubbell ends. Heck you can even make it pretty, with some flex armor and shrink tube.. Cut to fit... About 1.00 a foot USD and US made cable.. As good if not better than any other ca... | |
| Schiit Freya+(Plus) Ok I got the little Freya +. Delivery was fast. Looked good.I took it out of the box voiced it, plumbed it and turned it on.I couldn't select the input, via remote or manually on the machine.I turn it off, make sure everything is right, check the ... | |
| Power Conditioners amg56747 posts05-08-2020 8:51amfollow me Ok? How much is your equipment worth? + 1, they are not for sound, they are for protection. The better sound is a byproduct of a cleaned up AC supply. Kinda goes hand in hand.. If it’s pretty clean to begin... | |
| How to stop waterboarding I've never heard the term, with regards to stereo gear. Waterboarding? I'd like to understand. Gosh hope it's nothing you've personally gone through..Noise is usually routing, or ground loop issues, but you're a little light on details. Do you he... | |
| Just confused I'm a decouple guy, no matter what. Though that concrete floor is a good place to help with vibration control. If your a LP guy, Vibration control yourself, into oblivion, great idea. I use to be very aware of Vinyl issues. To many silver disk, s... | |

It was a water reactive environment. The guy that checked, tested only for O2, flammable, and combustible40 years ago. No water reactive..Needle... | |
| Is it fine to bunch together power wires? You are better off having a jumbled mess than having all the cables neatly organized.Neatly organised is good, touching is bad. My .5, 2" numbers work very well, for NOISE. As I stated..You shouldn't tell people that. This isn't a Cray supercompu... | |
| Raising my subwoofer I'd build a surround out of wood that you could just lift on & off. Raising the sub for listening purposes will affect SQ. One room here the subs bens and MB columns are over 3/4 of a US ton. I can lift and place a 350 lb column pretty eas... | |
| Question about the Adcom GTP-450 Ext. Processor Output Need an A/B switch on the Preamp, that has separate, volume control for the two different zones. It sounds like you found a tape monitor, loop. The volume is set. You can lower the signal, with a passive preamp or something. It does not have volum... | |
| Is it fine to bunch together power wires? No touching... anywhere. The cables DO NOT TOUCH each other anywhere.. Especially POWER CORD to Interconnect.Take your time and rout just 1/2" apart on ICs, and PC. When crossing the two, a 2" gap and a Right angle, (90 deg if you can).Looks lik... | |
